    Mule not starting

    I got the starter from Mechanical Mules. The teeth looked good and I did move it in gear to make sure I saw those rotating. I’m now questioning if it’s as simple as the ignition switch has corrosion on it.

    Mule not starting

    I’ve removed the starter and tested it with battery cables direct to it. It did spin. Ok how would I know if it’s a bad flywheel ring gear? Tomorrow I will try a few more troubleshooting steps and measurements to see if the new starter should connect with the flywheel.

    Mule not starting

    No issues before. It sat for about two weeks and I thought initially battery, jumping did help. Then I remember the previous owner said it needed a new starter, so I tried that. I’ll try roll starting when I get some help and see if it starts isolating that.

    Mule not starting

    I’m having issues with the Mule starting. It was fine when parked about two weeks ago. I tried jumping it off and I figured it was the starter (guy it was bought from said it needed a new starter). Ordered a starter and installed it. I connected another battery direct to the starter and it spins...

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    So here is the information I can pass on for the repair if anyone has this issue. Banjo bolt is 18mm 1.5 threads. A 16.5mm drill bit isn't easy to find but a 5/8 drilled it out for the tap. I'm not sure what hollow stud was in it before but there was no way it was even close to the 18mm since...

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    It looks like just the first few threads are damaged. I will try to find a tap to see if I can clean them up and if not, then on to the next step.

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    I found this. Now I just need to find the corresponding tap. Looks like .652in or 16.56mm with 18tpi threads. https://www.wbparts.com/rfq/4730-01-453-8880.html

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    It is for the hose that attaches to the wheel for the CTIS. Where this hose attaches. This isn't my photo, I will take one of my wheel tomorrow but this is the hose I have. The old bolt was completely stripped of threads and barely holding in.

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    Thats the specs I found but with a micrometer, it is close to .675 which those specs don't match up to that in any way.

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    It appears the threads that the Spicer bolt/banjo bolt goes into are stripped. It looked like it was 5/8" 20thread but that still won't allow the bolt even to start. I looked up the 673998 specs and they don't seem to match up. Any ideas to the bolt/thread size of this one?

    M37 Distributor and coil

    I'm having the same issue as farvufarm. It died when I was moving it. It is getting fuel. I changed the coil out. I am getting flashes on the test light at the negative on the coil when I turn it over. But, I am getting no spark at the end of the plug wires. Even checking it with a test...
